CJK font recommendations

[Peter Constable]

In the Recommendations section of the OT spec (see file:///F:/Source/OpenTypeSpec/OTSpec/recom.htm#cjk), the following guidance is given:

"4. If an OpenType font with CFF outlines is to be used for vertical writing, Adobe Type Manager/NT 4.1 and the Windows 2000 OTF driver require that a Vertical Rotation ('vrt2') feature<file:///F:/Source/OpenTypeSpec/OTSpec/features_uz.htm#vrt2> be present in the Glyph Substitution ('GSUB') table. See the Feature Tags section of the OpenType Layout Tag Registry for a description of and further requirements for this feature."

It doesn't make sense to me for the spec in 2018 to reference 20-year-old software that are long past their end of life and support. Is this statement still relevant?
